- Surprise Resident Evil 5 Steam update adds local co-op after six years - 28 February 2023
Well this is a nice surprise. Resident Evil 5 couch co-op is once again available, as the PC horror game receives its first major update from developer Capcom in six years. Previously, issues relating to the Games for Windows Live service and how it interacted with Steam meant that split-screen co-operative play had to be disabled in RE5, but now that feature has been removed, meaning you no longer have to go online to play the shooter with a friend. So, as we look ahead to the Resident Evil 4 release date , perhaps RE5 is worth another go. Read the rest of the story...

- Game launch issue workaround (GFWL save/achievement import) - 18 February 2017
Hi everyone, We're aware of the installation / launch error that some customers are experiencing due to the 3rd party GFWL key error. For the time being, we've had Valve disable the 'missing key' system notification so players can get past the error and get the game to launch. Background: while the game no longer utilize the Games for Windows LIVE service, we still left in a feature that allowed previous GFWL users to import their old save game progress and Achievements into the Steam version. This necessitated the game to enumerate the old save data by requiring users to login into their GFWL account in order to load the save file and, more importantly, download the Achievement unlock state from Microsoft's Xbox/GFW LIVE servers tied to the user account/save file. For the reason noted above, the game requires users to install the GFWL client during the initial installation process. Tho…
